The platform, known as RASME, utilizes smartphones, drones, and satellite feeds to capture georeferenced photographs and video directly from project sites. By bypassing the delays inherent in manual paper-based reporting, project managers gain immediate access to verified site conditions. This transition aims to identify operational bottlenecks before they escalate, ensuring that resources in sectors ranging from agriculture to energy are deployed with higher precision.
During a four-day training session in Accra, 62 participants from local implementing agencies learned to integrate these digital tools into their daily workflows. Halima Hashi, the Bank’s Ghana Country Manager, emphasized that the shift is intended to bolster the design of future development programs by grounding them in accurate, empirical evidence. This rollout aligns with the Bank’s continent-wide digital transformation strategy, which prioritizes technological modernization to improve project outcomes.
Ghana remains a cornerstone of the Bank's regional portfolio, currently hosting 21 active operations valued at approximately US$671 million. Since the partnership began in 1973, the Bank has committed over US$8 billion to support the nation's infrastructure and social development. The adoption of RASME represents the next phase of this long-term investment, moving toward a data-driven model of institutional supervision.
